a WSS-2370 switch port and the device at the other end of the link must be the same. In addition, the other
device must support full-duplex operation. When autonegotiation is enabled on a WSS-2370 switch port, the
port advertises support for full-duplex mode only. Table 3 lists the supported configurations.
Disabling or Reenabling a Port
All ports are enabled by default. To administratively disable a port, use the following command:
set port {enable | disable} port-list
A port that is administratively disabled cannot send or receive packets. This command does not affect the link
state of the port.
Disabling or Reenabling Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplies DC power to a device connected to an AP access port. The PoE state
depends on whether you enable or disable PoE when you set the port type. (See “Setting the Port Type” on
page 72.)

Caution! Use the WSS switch’s PoE only to power Nortel AP access ports. If you
enable PoE on ports connected to other devices, damage can result.
